A Year in a Day: Camp Musicuentos 2014

What if a summer day changed your whole school year for the better?

Come join me on Friday, June 27 and see how one day of intense, collaborative curriculum mapping will make your 2014-2015 school year feel easier and smoother and filled with proficiency-based teaching and assessments. I’ll warn you, it’s not going to be a relaxing day of professional development, but it’s worth it for one day of work mapping out your school year.

What to bring: your wifi-enabled laptop with a Google Drive account, your school calendar, your textbook if you use one (if you don’t, great!), and some serious energy!

What to expect: No pool breaks allowed! We’ll use the curriculum mapping process I’ve developed over several years of textbook supplementing and textbook-free teaching to start with the big picture and work as far down as we can in one day. You’ll leave feeling more prepared for a school year than you ever have before.

Can you send me an example of a content map similar to what you would be developing on that day? Is your method musical/storytelling like TPR? I have only read some of your blog and am very impressed! Thanks for any additional info you could provide…

I am starting a new Spanish program through high school and am considering not getting a textbook at all… I have never used a textbook in my intro 9 week Spanish class, but the thought of developing curriculum for all the levels of Spanish class seems daunting…

I am so jealous! This sounds like a great day! But I can’t make it. I will be presenting at a Tech day in MA for MAFLA. I would be very interested in this if you ran a second one later in the summer 😉 I am creating a new curriculum for a new course next year, and reworking a curriculum also. Would have loved to collaborated 🙁 Have fun!
